How much should I expect to pay to have , for example a 10 oz embossed soda bottle tumbled/cleaned, do you pay for insurance or is that included.? any help appreciated
Basically it depends on several factors. Are you talking about 1 bottle or several? How bad is the staining? I do some cleaning for as little as $12 each for 4 shipped together that need a one shot polish. Worst case would be $20 for very heavy staining. That does not include shipping.
Finding someone close to you is the key, since I collect locals only the shipping cost back and forth is more than most of my bottles are worth, and that's before the $15(AVERAGE) to have them cleaned...
this was Ryan's price list when he was tumbling just for reference. He did a good job.
